When operating in the agricultural, food or feed sectors, it is essential to comply with legal requirements regarding food and feed safety. By law, it is mandatory to implement and adhere to an HACCP system. In addition, you may need to meet additional requirements set by stakeholders such as retailers, caterers and food service providers.  

The modular structure of the Q-Point quality manual enables the integration and combination of various food safety and quality management systems with other standards, such as sustainability and environmental standards. In collaboration with you, our consultants conduct a thorough risk analysis, analysing the crucial aspects of your operations to achieve controlled process management and minimise failure costs.  

Implementing quality management systems enables your organisation to maintain its resilience, anticipate changes on time, and continuously improve process management and business operations. 

We guide the implementation of various food safety and quality systems, tailored to the needs of your business. With us, you can count on a practical and targeted approach to deliver results.
